If you have questions about whether reality is subjective. try killing yourself, or maybe chopping your arm off with an ax or shooting a police officer in the face inside the police station.

I don't understand why you only present half the picture.Its obvious that there is a part of reality that is objective, but it's also obvious that there's a part if reality that is subjective.Science does not dispute this.

Pareidolic-Dreamer
I see wall people.

When I argue against someone's truths, I always feel like I am arguing just as strongly against my own.

I think the best argument against majoring in philosophy is that people with Sadolite's "middle-America-what-you-see-is-what-you-get" attitude DEFINITELY exist and WILL explain all the answers at you whenever they get the chance.

You can contemplate an alternate reality, But in the end you will bow to this reality. That is reality.

It's not your views that divide us, it's what you think my views should be that divides us.

If you think I will give up my rights and forsake social etiquette to make you "FEEL" better you are sadly mistaken

If liberal democrats would just stop shooting people gun violence would drop by 90%

Don't bother, they will just be someone else's point of view, not your own. :p

Agreed. Don't read, kids.

"I'd like to be linked to some cool articles/books on the topic of reality being subjective."

Subjective: "based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions."

In the context of this question, can reality be what I think it is rather than what it appears to be. Can I live a reality based on my own opinion of what reality is. Will my opinion of reality be accepted by another. Is my life a big lie. Do I only think I see what I see.

Ya, go ahead and ask those questions and ponder them till the cows come home. You still have to go to work tomorrow or to school or what ever.

The OP never mentions the idea of reality not existing. It was asking if it was subjective. That is, whether or not our perception of reality is constituted through a lens (as opposed to a mirror).

This all depends on what one specifically means by subjective.

Meh

Great intellectual response, Classic redirect,change the subject to something inane.

I wasn't changing the subject. I actually have no desire to talk about Will Ferrel fake-vomiting. I was, on the contrary, colorfully depicting my response to the grossness that is yer supposed understanding of the subject (or rather what you think the subject is in the first place).
